A unique opportunity to acquire a rare early Vigier Passion basses made in the late1980s (date tbc). The bass is in good condition, plays beautifully and has been refurbished with; new Schaller tuners, re-polished neck and head, rebuilt electronics, new back cover. this bass also features the original Vigier active control system and benefits from a set up and a new set of strings. The finish is white which has now aged to a more cream colour, there are a few dings on the edge of the bass but otherwise the body is in great condition, the neck and head have no dings.

As Kiwi Said

I had an identical example in red. The models from this era (with the woven graphite necks) are great -- really reliable.

I just bought a 5-er Vigier from bass direct - beautiful...

Ped's VIgier has the lowest action and the warmest, growliest, mids I've ever heard on a bass. Its a real shame they never made graphite necked 5 strings.
